It seems like the War, at least at the beginning, was a &quot;come as you are party.&quot; Thank you for explaining and showing us what the well dressed soldiers on both sides were wearing. If you haven&#39;t ever seen it, I urge you to watch the 1992 film Gettysburg. It is absolutely sensational. You will be awestruck!

Funny that you mentioned the Zouaves as I took one look at those trousers and thought of the first French Army uniforms used in WWI- before they learned what great targets for machine guns they made.CWMartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06798867734074134647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372897564928472255.post-12465035083659272962017-04-19T08:42:28.318+10:002017-04-19T08:42:28.318+10:00I&#39;m an American and studied the war all while ...I&#39;m an American and studied the war all while I was in public schools but I never knew this.

By the way, I went to a Civil War Museum in New Orleans and one somewhere else. The uniforms were so small one of today&#39;s children would fit in it. People were not tall nor fat then as they are now. The were built like slim teenagers are built like now. The uniform jackets were amazingly narrow. The boots were so small looking in the foot that I wondered how anyone could get their foot in! All of their clothing was so small looking. Just amazing how we all of us have changed with the advent of better nutrition and....junk food. :-) Katie Isabellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04298277081648176277noreply@blogger.com
